Thanks for sharing the video suggestion about King. He was truly a brave American that made a deep and lasting change on our country. He is one of the few American heroes who fought for change successful through non-violent means. As a pacifist, there are few examples of people of any color determined to use the media and not violence to enact deep and lasting change. So for that, I rank him high. It was his fight against injustice I admire, as a white person and the means he chose. I would add that there were always a small percentage of whites fighting against racial and social alongside blacks, from the abolitionists pre-American Revolution throughout slavery to King’s time and until today. King didn’t go wrong for widening his fight for income inequality toward the end of his life, it was that it was a much deeper and longer fight against poverty, tragically cut short by an assassins bullet that prevented his success. I believe that fight he picked up after his success with Civil Rights perhaps made him even more dangerous to the ruling white class, as they could stop a racially unified poor and working class “wave” of voters from eliminating their dominant position (99.8% of elected federal officials from American history had been white men at the time of King’s death, making for an atmosphere of unconscious “unified” agreement about who ruled the country and biasing laws and policies to be skewed to the upper class and almost upper class rich who were in power).
